Not sure their parents have committed any sin ? Their parents are law abiding legal immigrants running their own businesses in the US

Children of Legal Immigrants should be allowed to stay especially when the parents have a legal business in the USA

This is really unfair on honest decent citizens and their families. Heartbreaking, things need to change.

Family is the most important thing. Do not separate parents and kids unnecessarily.

Wow -- I had no idea. Another example of Obama's Lawful but Awful decision.

Please support this effort to change immigration laws to allow children of legal immigrants to stay in the US past the age of 21.

Although the mothers & fathers in this case didn't commit any sins. They came here legally unlike the 'illegals' who crossed a physical border or overstayed tourist visas of the USA.

Our children have been here since Pre K and they know no other life. They have no future in the UK and to deport them to a country they have never known when they are 21 would be devastating for their well being.
To cover the legal children under the Dream Act would be a step in the right direction. Why is the government supporting Illegal people and not the law abiding legal ones who create employment, pay taxes and do everything by the law?
21 should be a year of our children celebrating and paving their future- they should not be deported to a country they have never know. #cantDREAM #e2visareform

Many of these children, including my own daughters aged 17 and 18 came to America as youngsters, and have limited recollection of their country of birth. Often, they are high achieving students and excellent citizens. The imbalance between legal and illegal children is a travesty and wholly unjust. Why should illegals get preferential treatment when we have met all legal requirements and ensured continuing legal status? Our children also have lived most of their young lives as Americans and had no choice in moving here just like the illegals. Let's hope that those in power quickly recognize that there should, at the very least, be no disadvantage for those who respect the law, pay their taxes and who want to integrate and be good citizens.
